THE SWORD
Capt. Castor Bests Prof. Powers at
the Fair Grounds.

The sword contest at the fair grounds
Sunday was of the order of amusement
generally denominated a "hippodrome."
Capt. Castor and Prof. Powers resembled
''supes' in julius CoSer when attired in
their second hand tin vests. A legitimate
contest of this character occupies from
two to three hours. The captain and the
professor tamely iabbed at each other
with rusty sabres for aoout hall an hour
and disappeared. The only exciting
thing about the combat was the French
mans frquent burst of profanity in
broken English. He would curse a
moment, whack the professor over the
back or on the helmet and excltedly
calculate, "Ze point, re point" Once
or twice be varied the monotony by spur
ring his fiery steed and complacently say
ing: Dam dees boss" In the fourth
round Capt. Castor swung his weapon
around after the manner of a ball player
about to make a two-base hit and struck
his antagonist on the elbow. At another
of the wild rushes where the bloodthirsty
duelists were squirting their horses to
move them faster han a slow walk, the
Frenchman stabbed the professor in the
side with his rusty cheese knife
Mai. Talbot, who umpired the game,
announced that CASTOR won by two
points, Powers having only nine to his
credit at the termination of the terrible
battle. The attendance was small, there
probably not being over 100 persons
present.
If Sundays exhibition was a fair sam
pie of the style of fighting prior to the
invention of gunpowder and introduction
Of firearms, it is no wonder our an
ce5tors attained such ripe old ages and
consumed so many lagons of wine. A
cowboy who witnessed the contest re
marked that he could rope either of
them tn -oldiers and drag him across the
country ten miles before he could get in
his work with one of them extended
butcher knives"

A Panic AVerted.

New YORK, Aug. AT a meeting of
prominent operators held this morning it
was decided hat a check to the decline in
the stock market was absolutely necessary
to save the country from a panic, and S.
V. White, A. f. Bateman and Addison
Cammack agreed to buy So 900 shares of
stock for that purpose. This buying
turned the market and caused an advance
of 9 per cens all around. The purchases
were for the purpose of covering short
sales made at much higher figures.
The stock market to-day presented on
the whole a much frmer front hay at
any time during last week, although the
announcement of the suspension of
Gould and Henry was made the basis Of
another effort to depress prices. The
feeling on the start was much more
hopeful, and the covering of shorts was
on / large scale, while considerable buy
ing was noticed for new cliques. Efforts
at depression kept the market feverish
and unsettled for some time, but the
bears found the buying too strong for
them and they began to swim with the
tide Of advance. The news of the
day was entirely %unimportant and very
little special features were developed.

VIII Escape the Gallows.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. This morning
the jury in the case of Alf. Mccoy,
charged with DIR. Northrop's murder, re-
turned a verdict of guilty in the second
degree. The killing occurred at Haver-
hill. The victim was a noted prohibition
list, and it was claimed that Mccoy, who
owned a saloon, felt much enmity toward
him on that account. On the day of the
murder the men had a dispute about
some guinea fowls. Northrop was at
tackled by ALI. Mccoy, the prisoner, and
his brothers James Mccoy and Pierson
Mccoy. Northrop defended himself I'M
armed until Young Mccoy brought a gun
after his father and uncle had emptied
their pistols, and gave it to the prisoner,
who shot to death the already wounded
Northrop Mccoy was postmaster of
the village at the time of the murder.
There is much dissatisfaction with the
verdict. The shooting was done in day
light in the street, and most people re-
gard it AS worthy of worse punishment.

Trouble With Iron Workers.

PITTsBURG, Aug. To-day was in
augurated what from the present outlook
will be a most serious matter. For years
a misunderstanding has existed between
the A~malgamated Association of iron and
steel workers and the manufacturers, and
now a number of mills in Mahoning val
ley have been closed and nearly 5000
iron workers are out of employment,
while the indications are that before many
days there will be still more idle mills.
The cause is an attempt or the part OF
the Amalgamated Association to enforce
an old law in their constitution which
provides that no man shall hold two Jobs
at a mill. At a recent convention of the
iron workers an amendment stlgmatizing
the holders of two Jobs as 'blacksheep''
was passed and it was decided to force the
law after August ]. The members of the
association who were notified of the action
aiken as a rule gave up their extra jobs,
but the trouble arose over non members
who refused.
At the mills of Painter & Sons in this
city, Brown, Bonnell & Co., the Mahon-
ing Valley Iron company, and Cart
wright, McCurdy & Co., of Youngstown,
the mill owners refused to discharge these
men and the mills closed this morning.
The same trouble is expected at the Solar
iron works OF this city, and at the iron
works at Akron, Ohio, and Girard Penn.
The manufacturers refuse to recognize
the law on the ground that it was not in
cluded in the agreement of scale of wages
they signed Both sides are determined
to maintain the stand taken and unless
amicable settlement Is reached soon sew
eral thousand more mill workers will be
out of employment.

CLEVELAND'S TRIP.
Programme of the Presidents
Western Tour.
He Will Leave the Capital
September 80.
Expected Trouble With Iron
Workers in P1ttsburg.
The Presidents Western Trip.

II lOoANOAb " OobOI LIP.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The president
said to day that he felt it to be an abso-
lutte necessity that he should in every case
request those cities which proposed to
send delegates to Washington conveying
invitations TO visit them on his western
trip to forego that formality and forward
their communications by mail. He fully
appreciates the cordial spirit which
prompts such courtesy and which is most
gratifying, but it seems to him unnece-
sary that such journeys tor such a purpose
at this heated season of the year should
not be undertaken.
In addition to this consideration, he
said it had been his purpose to feel free to
absent himself from the capitol and the
white house as he should feel disposed
during this month and to make no en-
gagements which would require his pres
ence here at any stated time. 1t is prob
able he will leave here the last day of
September and go direct to st. Louis and
from there to Kansas City, St. Paul,
Minneapolis. Milwaukee, Chicago, Nash
vile and Atlanta. The st. Louis and
Atlanta dates being fixed, it will not be
practicable to deviate much from this
programme. The journey will be made
by the ordinary route of travel between
the cities named and the disposition of the
president will be to see as much of the
country and the people on his route as
will be consistent with his limited time
and positive engagements.

CAMDEN, N. j., Aug. IA more
horrible tragedy never occurred in this
city than that which occurred in South
Camden a few minutes before 6 o'clock
this evening, when William Wiltshire, SO
years of age, a keeper of an oyster saloon,
shot his wife Ella, aged At, and deliber
ately murdered Justice of the Peace VIM.
S. Darr (coloredl, and then finished the
work of destruction by sending a bullet
through his own brain, dying almost in
stantly. The tragedy occurred in Darr's
office. Wiltshire had lived ~unhappily
with his wife. The couple had three
children, aged 6, II and Is respectively
About two weeks age Mrs, Wiltshire, he
coming tired of her husbands abuse,
went to Darr's Office and had a warrant
issued, charging him with n%on.support
and cruelty.
Wiltshire was arrested, tried and or
dered to pay Sc per week for the support
of his wife and children. Instead of
giving his wife the amount ordered by the
court he gave her but 81. The woman
appealed for more, but her husband re
fused to listen to her, the consequence
being that the old family quarrel was re-
newed and continued until death put an
end to it. Previous to the tragedy this
evening Wiltshire entered the house,
grasped his wife by the throat, and com
menced choking her. She succeeded in
getting away from him and ran to the
office of the unfortunate squire. She
was telling him her troubles when her
husband entered. and three minutes later
the wife, husband, and the squire were
dead

A Girl Wife Murdered.

JERSEY CITY, n. Y. Aug. Mrs.
Iillie Schlimnicr, l6 years of age, was
murdered in cold blood by her youthful
husband Joseph, this afternoon. The
couple were married with the consent of
the girls parents, but on account OF his
age it was agreed they should not live
together for two years. 1t is said that
young Schlimnier had been e~ndeavoring
10 persuade the girl to leave her parental
roof, but she refused and he had been
lounging su%spiciously around ever since.
This afternoon she was walking down
Erie street with her mother and grand
mother. At the corner of Second street

at her breast fred. She fell to the side

sible for the tragedy and then fled.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-The discovery of

firms, composing the leading manufact-
urers association of Newark, \. j., are
